At the halfway point in the season, it’s fair to say that not all of the football pundits’ predictions have come true as far as rookies are concerned. Here, however, are a few young quarterbacks that are living up to their potential and could have some relevance for fantasy sport in the future.

ALBANY, N.Y.— (Associated Press) - Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a bill into law Wednesday to allow the resumption of daily fantasy sports in New York.

The measure calls the popular online contests a “game of skill.” That legal definition resolves the central argument in a lawsuit brought against the country’s two top fantasy-sports companies by the state attorney general. He had likened the online matches to illegal gambling operations based on chance.

London – Oulala.com, the daily fantasy sports (DFS) operator and B2B provider, will unveil its monetised platform for Australasia and the Indian subcontinent at the beginning of the new football season.

The latest expansion of the European daily fantasy football site is a white label agreement between OulalaGames and Cardinal House Group, the Australian registered B2B and B2C provider of online social gaming products and real money gambling platforms.

On Wednesday, we have The Marlins Wei-Yin Chen (5-3) as the probable starter. He allowed four runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five over six innings, but received no decision Friday at the Cardinals. Philadelphia’s starters have hit 19 in 62 at bats with two home runs.

But who we really like here and someone probably off the radar is the Phillies Jeremy Hellickson, especially with the Phillies playing better than .500 ball over the past month.

In general the lineups for both Detroit and Toronto should be considered throughout the four-game series July 7 to 10. That’s because the OVER was 16-5-1 in the last 22 meetings entering Thursday.

Toronto had scored five or more runs in seven of their last ten games. Detroit has done so in six of their last ten games. Do the math and, while we feel the Game Two total is a little high at 10, it’s still worth taking.

Taijun Walker has allowed 33 hits off of 122 at bats versus the current Astros roster. This includes 9 home runs and 17 extra base hits. Walker is also coming off two starts in which he permitted just a single run in over 11 innings.

In six of his last ten starts, Walker has permitted four or more runs.

These are your heavy hitters

Jose Altuve - 8-for-23 with a homer. He’s batting .400 over the past seven days and went two for four on Monday.

Evan Gattis - 5-for-15 with two home runs. He is averaging .235 over the past week.

Yes it’s true that the New York Mets are 2-6 in Matt Harvey’s last 8 starts vs. Miami. It’s also true that Harvey is averaging .169 against this Marlins roster, allowing just 21 hits on 124 at bats with only one home run over this period.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (Associated Press) - The Pennsylvania House of Representatives passed legislation Tuesday to expand legalized casino-style gambling to websites, airports and mobile applications. The measure passed, 114-85, and was sent to the Senate. Here is a look at the highlights:

LAS VEGAS (Associated Press) — A new gambling platform approved by Nevada regulators Thursday will further blur the lines between traditional sports betting and fantasy sports contests, an industry that insists its games are not gambling in the face of legal challenges across the country.

The Nevada Gaming Commission gave a gambling license to Henderson-based US Fantasy, calling it a fair model as daily fantasy sports businesses such as DraftKings and FanDuel stand accused in several states of operating as illegal, unregulated betting systems.

Illinois lawmakers are considering a bill that would legalize and tax online Fantasy Sports betting.

An Illinois House Committee has approved a bill which would allow websites like FanDuel and DraftKings to legally operate despite objections of the Illinois Gaming board, the gambling industry, and some state lawmakers.

The measure would ban company employees as well as those under the age of 21 from playing Daily Fantasy Sports games for real cash.

It is a well known fact that since the explosion of the internet in the early years of the twenty first century, online casinos have become ever more popular pastimes for millions of people around the world.
